Be it known that I, FREDERIGKPETER Ros- BACK, a citizen ofthe Un ite'dStates, and a resident of the city ofOhieago, county of 0001:,

State of Illinois, have invented "certain new anduseful Improvements inPerforators, of which the following is a specification, refer-- encebeing had to the aecompanyin g drawings,

forming apart hereof;

My invention relatcsto the class of devices used forperforating-paper toprovide divisionlines at which to rend er separation by tearing easy.These perforations are to he found, among other connections, in sheetsof postagestamps, check-books, receipt-books, and the like. I

j 111 my present-invention the object is to Y provide improvements inthe construction and manner of operating the feedingdevice and thedeliveryofthe cut material therefrom wherein an adjustable feed isprovided that enablesthe operator toreadily set or arrange the feed tosecure any desired length to the perforated material in its presentationto the perforating-knife, from which it is carried by a rubber-coveredroller and presented to an adjustable receptacle controlled by theoperator to secure it in any desired position as the I have also placeda paperholding table immediately above the operative parts of themachinefor convenience in taking the material to supply the machine. I

Many features of the operative parts of the machine are shown inmy-formerpatent, No.

387,543, dated August-7,1888.

In the drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of my improved machine.Fig. 2 is a sectional side view on line 2 2 of Fig. .1. Fig; 3 is a planView on line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4t

Fig. 6 is a sectional view on line (i 6 of Fig.

4, more clearlyshowing the antifriction-rollers that support the slidingadjustable feedbrackets F application. i

In the drawings, A represents the table at the front of the machine,upon whiehthe ma- .terial is laid as it is brought down from thesupply-table A; 3, the adjustable receivingtable, upon which the sheetsof perforated paper are delivered; 13, its supporting-hinges; E theadjusting supporting-shaft; lBithe ratchet-plate, secured to themachine-frame; 7), the lever actuating the ratchet-pawl; B", theadjusting ratchet-lever; 1), its retaining set-screw; C, the adjustableside boards for retaining the perforated material upon thereceiving-table; 0, their adjusting retainingbolts 7 Dis thereciprocating perforating-head; D, its actuating-shaft.

E is the ontwardly-revolving carrier'roller, provided with rubberfriction-sleeves or carrier-surfaces e, that carries the finishedproduct from the perforating-knives and delivers the same upon thetable; F, the angular supporting portion of the main frame, to which issecured the carrier-track F, upon which is mounted the adjustablefeeding-carriage I, as

illustrated in the sectional views'of Figs. 5 and (5, provided with itsantifriction-rolleri and its shaft 1'', the carriage being supported ateach end by the roller J upon its flanged rim J, that rests upon the topof the carriertrack. J is its shaft. i

G is the main power-wheel; G its clutch-actuating shaft.

H is theadjustable ratchet-tooth, mounted 011 the overhanging shaft Fsupported by 7b is its retaining set-screw.

II shows a ratchet-tooth moved horizontally out of contact with theloeking-pawl K of the feed-carriage; K,its pawl-pivot;Kiitspawlactuating handle; K its stop; L, the car- ?r, its shaft;

riageactuating handle; M, the extended bar from the carriage, whichsupports andmoves the material to be perforated. It is provided with aretaining-gage N, having a thumb ad-' justing-screw n; M, an adjustableholding push-plate pivoted at m to the bar M and provided withholding-screws on over the slot 171. in the M below.

P is the paper or material to be perforated.

The drawings thus described clearly show the construction of themachine.

In operation the material is placed upon the supply-table A, from whichit is taken in quantities suitable for the action of the perforating-knife and placed upon the table A, the front edge of thematerial resting upon the feed-carriage I, against the adjustableholding push-plate M, as shown in Fig. 4, the holding-gage N beingplaced up to the side of the paper and secured in any desired positionby means of its set-screw n. The operator, having adjusted theratchetteeth II to the required distance indicating the length of thepaper to be perforated, moves the carriage and the material by means ofthe actuating-handle L to a 'point where the lockingpawl K, which isactuated by means of his wrist bearing upon the pawl-actuating handle Kwill contact with the ratchet-tooth II when the perforating-knivesdescend and penetrate through the paper, after which the carriage ismoved forward and held firmly by the succeeding pawl, and theperforating-knives again descend and the operation is repeated. As thefinished material accumulates upon the receiving-table it is loweredbymeans of its adjusting ratchet-lever B actuating the pivot-shaft B so asto permit any desired quantity of paper to be placed on top of the sameas it is delivered by the carrier-roll E.

. The adjustable holding push-plate M, against which the material rests,may be placed at any desired angle in its position against the materialto insure the line of perforation in registry with any figures orprinted matter that may be on the surface of the material.

. The carriage being supported upon its antifriction-rollers in themanner shown in the drawings insures accurate line of movement withoutfriction, and I consider its construction as shown to be novel, which,with the.

. and described.

2. In a perforating machine a feed carriage mounted on a single track atone side of the table and having attached thereto thematerial-supporting bar M extended across the table and provided withthe adjustable pushplate M pivoted at m and its securing setscrews m andtransverse slot m that forces the material forward combined with theretaining-gage N and its adjusting-screw 02 secured to the slidingextended bar M actuated by the handle L substantially as shown and.

said carriage being mounted on the way or' track F, combined with itsantifriction-rollers J revolving at the side of the track and itssupporting-flange J revolving on the top of the track on its shaft J atthe outer side of the track, and the antifriction-rollerihaving itsshaft t" revolving upon the vertical walls of the opposite side of thetrack below the plane of the roller J substantially as shown anddescribed.

5. In a perforating-machine the feed-carriage I mounted on a singletrack on one side the machine provided with the materialmoving bar Mextending across the table and the transversely-pivoted spring-pawl Kthat is free to vibrate on its pivot K as it is moved forward under theratchet-teeth H for placing the same to the desired point substantiallyas shown and described.

6. In a perforating-machine the overhanging shaft F supported 011brackets F provided with adjustable ratchet-teeth H. that are free torevolve and be held out of contact and be adjusted on said shaft to anypoint or position combined with the sliding carriage I that movesbeneath said shaft with its transversely-pivoted spring-pawl Ksubstantially as shown.

7. In a perforating-machine the combination of the carriage I mounted ona single track at one side the machine and its adjustablematerial-supporting bar M mounted on bar M that is secured to thecarriage, its actuating-handle L, pawl-actuating handle K with theadjustable ratchet-teeth substantially-as shown and described.

8. The combination of the reciprocating perforating-head D, theintermediate carrierroller E, the receiving-table B secured to itsadjusting supporting-shaft B with the 0011- trolling adjustingratchet-lever B, its locking-pawl b and its ratchet-holding plate Bsubstantially as shown and described.
